Photographer's Note

Another shot from the beach at White Rock. It's hard to believe that this is an active beach in the sunny summer, but in December it's cold and deserted. Despite the temperature, the beach has lost none of it's beauty. I would have liked to have a stronger composition for this, but I liked the way the ripples in the sand matched the ripples in the clouds.

Hi Alvin, Wonderful shot with a very peculiar mood, stunning colours and a perfect reflection in the water. I like the little puddles in the foreground of your composition as well as the ripples that indeed seem an additional reflection of the clouds in the sky. Lovely work! Sabine

Hi Alvin,
This one works for the colors you captured, since we can't see precisely what's floating below, we can imagine these are icebergs... To be honest I prefered by far your previous one as it showed a great composition, I understand from the note you lacked time to work out one and shot here for the colors.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Alvin - even though I prefer the previous, this one is also magnificent, the blazing red clouds are beautifully reflected, and the patterns in the sand do look like a continuation of the reflections.

I think it's a very strong composition, Alvin! Partial top/bottom symmetry (but not too much), good balance of light and dark areas, interesting shapes in the foreground for interest. What more could you want? And the arrangement of textures is outstanding! It's a serene and beautiful scene. Regards, Ken.

Good morning Alvin!
This a very beautiful scenery from the beach.The colors are fantastic.Nice darker foreground contrasting nicely with the super sky. Very impressive, artistic work
Congratulations
